Hanging with the locals

It is always best to leave the tourist crowd behind and spend some time with the locals when traveling. I asked Brewster what was new and exciting in Ketchikan and he said "you." It seems that our visit and the spawning salmon were the most interesting things happening in the southern Alaskapanhandle that day. We bumped into a shop owner who moved from Chicago to Ketchikan about 20 years ago, the winters are warmer in Ketchikan then they are in Chicago and there is no traffic.

About Me

Travel and life are great adventures. There are many interesting and exciting places to go and see. A penguin has been one of my traveling companions for a very long time. This blog is a journal of some of our adventures. We have been to 48 states, (missing Idaho and Wyoming) and a fifteen countries. Our adventures will continue as long as we are up to the travel.
